The Pennsylvania Music Educators Association (PMEA) is a statewide nonprofit organization focused on advancing music education across Pennsylvania. With a membership of more than 3,700 individuals involved in music instruction from preschool through higher education, as well as people in the music industry, PMEA supports quality music learning, performance, and school and community engagement without promoting a specific product. Based in Hamburg, Pennsylvania, PMEA operates within the broader music education sector and maintains affiliation with the National Association for Music Education (NAfME). The organization, which has evolved from a small group of band directors dating back to 1933, also partners with other organizations to offer professional development and educational opportunities for its members and the communities they serve. A recent development includes the addition of leadership roles in public and government affairs and collaborative webinars to expand training offerings.
